I've been looking for a thread like this!! Last tour I used a crappy sanyo camera and it really sucked! So I need to get a new one, that's not shitty but I can't afford a really fancy one.. I just want to be able to take good quality photos for my scrapbook etc and I usually make graphics on photoshop with them. Any one got any ideas?

I just bought a Canon Powershot ELPH 330 for the PWT and other various summer things. I'd recommend it if you can find one new, although it's a bit difficult now since there's a newer model (340). It's supposed to be better at low-light than the newer model, and also have a better processor, but I'm sure to the average eye they probably look the same. It's no DSLR, but for the under-$200 price, you can't beat it. I'm satisfied so far. It takes great video and photos!

Very nice photos, Rapture! Compact cameras are so great these days. I have over 30 different cameras and I sadly tend to always use my compact camera (digital) as it is so powerful and yet so small I never have issues bringing it to places. I always suggest Nikon's S9100 for compact digital cameras. That's what I use and it truly is amazing for me! I never have any issues with it and it always works great :D
